An interactive activity designed to help students learn how wind turbines generate power, & they can test the efficiency by changing height, wind speed, & propeller size.
A platform to collaborative, explore, & document wildlife in your community. Under the Missions tab, there are projects to make contributions to with images or observations. There is also a free iPod app.
The Discovery Channel's Volcano Explorer provides a small simulation that students can use to design a volcanic eruption, or as a class on the Promethean board. Using the Volcano Explorer students choose the magma viscosity & gas content to create a virtual volcanic eruption. When students make their selections the Volcano Explorer provides a short explanation of how those settings will affect the shape of the volcano & its eruption.
